Tuna Salad Bake
The day that I made this recipe I was looking for a budget friendly fish recipe. I thought about going to my old stand by, The Tuna Noodle Casserole or Nana's Tuna Salad. I gave it some thought and made a decision to develop a different recipe and I am so glad I did. The Tuna Salad Bake has a great flavor with a crunchy buttery topping. This is a very easy recipe and will be on the table in no time, it is great hot or cold. It is a great budget friendly recipe that we will enjoy for a long time.
